Hi dear fellow alpine users,
I'm trying to refine my roles a bit and am not really sure if what I want
can be achieved in some way with what we have or if this message of mine
is rather something like a feature request.
In order to use say emails like myemail+TAG at domain when subscribing to
some newsletter or service, I'm currently having a handful of roles, one
per service(TAG).
But by doing so, for each new service I have to define a new role, which
is rather tedious.
When I get an email that has the +TAG in the To: header, I switch to the
respective role when replying and then things are fine.
But that requires attention - and often enough, especially if I'm in a
hurry, I forget about selecting the proper role and end up sending the
mail with my regular, untagged FROM address.
Ideally, I'd wish that whenever there's a '+TAG' in the TO: header of a
message that reaches my Inbox, my replies would automatically use the
received TO: header as FROM: for the new mail.
Can this be achieved easily, am I just missing the proper way to do it?
Thank you,
Iosif Fettich
